Chronic Lung Disease Restrictive lung disease. Restrictive lung disease (chest wall diseases) can result from different problems, including interstitial fibrosis, scoliosis (spine curvature), and sarcoidosis. Some cause scarring in the lungs, while others compress the lungs. Some have no known cause; other causes include occupational exposure, chemotherapeutic agents or radiation, and connective tissue diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

Interstitial Lung Disease Interstitial lung disease is a general category that includes many different lung conditions. All interstitial lung diseases affect the interstitium, a part of the lungs ' anatomic structure. The interstitium is a lace-like network of tissue that extends throughout both lungs.ll forms of interstitial lung disease cause thickening of the interstitium. The thickening can be due to inflammation, scarring, or extra fluid (edema). Some forms of interstitial lung disease are short-lived; others are chronic and irreversible.

COPD  In-Depth Report About the Lungs. A type of lung disease marked by permanent damage to tissues in the lungs, making it hard to breathe. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease includes chronic bronchitis, in which the bronchi (large air passages) are inflamed and scarred, and emphysema, in which the alveoli (tiny air sacs) are damaged.rogressive means the disease gets worse over time. COPD can cause coughing that produces large amounts of mucus (a slimy substance), wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD.

- Interstitial lung disease of unknown cause is predominated by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a specific and progressive fibrotic lung disease, followed by the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, such as nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), and sarcoidosis.nterstitial lung disease may be broadly categorized into known and unknown causes. Common known causes include autoimmune or rheumatologic diseases, occupational and organic exposures, medications, and radiation.

What's the difference between a single and dual band wifi USB adapter? Answers. Best Answer: dual band means it has both 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless capabilities. SO it can connect to a 2.4ghz or 5ghz wireless router. 5ghz is ALOT better since there is almost NO interference on the 5ghz band, where as 2.4ghz is like zomgwtfbbq.The band really doesnt have much to do with speed, but 5ghz will be faster just because of less interference from other things.O it can connect to a 2.4ghz or 5ghz wireless router. 5ghz is ALOT better since there is almost NO interference on the 5ghz band, where as 2.4ghz is like zomgwtfbbq.

Tens of millions of people suffer from lung disease in the U.S. Smoking, infections, and genetics are responsible for most lung diseases. The lungs are part of a complex apparatus, expanding and relaxing thousands of times each day to bring in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.
